In an interview with RBK-Ukraine, Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Major General Kyrylo Budanov told about how russia’s propaganda will explain the defeat in the war and the battles in Donbas.

According to Kyrylo Budanov, the russian propagandists make fools of their population in a way that no one else in the world can. Therefore, to provide the explanation why russia loss Crimea – when the time comes – there will be no problem to explain. The head of Ukraine’s military intelligence reminded that russian propaganda mass media presented the liberation of Kherson as a "forced measure".

“Believe me, the propaganda machine there works like a standard; it really is the standard. They make fools of their population in a way that no one else in the world can. Their propaganda machine during the loss of Kherson showed itself as effectively as possible. They presented the loss of Kherson – the greatest achievement of the so-called ‘special military operation’ – simply as an everyday matter. Moreover, they turned it around in such a way that this was even a good thing for them,” Major General Kyrylo Budanov said.

In his opinion, the kremlin already has a plan on how to present the news about the loss of Crimea to their society.

“They have already worked it all out. Ways to cover the news during the events in Crimea – they all exist already; they are well known to us. Believe me, they will work for their society,” the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence noted.
